Two-Photon Fluorescence Properties and Ultrafast Responses of a Hyperbranched Diketo-Pyrrolo-Pyrrole Polymer with Triphenylamine as the Core

The two-photon fluorescence properties and ultrafast responses of a hyperbranched polyyne (hb-DPP-J2) with triphenylamine as the central core, Diketo-Pyrrolo-Pyrrole as the connecting unit and electron acceptor are studied. The polymer has a D-π-A-π-D conjugated structure along the extended polyyne π-bridge systems, and the effective conjugated unit repeats itself in the whole hyperbranched polymer chain. The polymer exhibits a large two-photon absorption cross section and high fluorescence quantum yields. The ultrafast dynamic results give a deep understanding of the excited energy transfer processes under excitation, and reveal a long relaxation lifetime of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state.
